Get the back end in the air in a safe manner.

On each of the antiroll bar drop link fixing bolt put a breaker bar on each one and give them a good pull and listen and look for movement in the joint. Do the fronts as well.

Change the ones that are loose.

Rear wheels off and check the rear pads are not loose in the rear calipers.

Sometimes the inner plastic items inside the springs can be loose but that may be the fronts. I have not had that problem but others have had that problem.

As the man says, drop links and anti roll bar bushes, not expensive and an easy to check and fix.

If they are not the fault, check the bottom bush on the shockers and check the springs are all in tact.
